Mobile robotics has become a rapidly developing field of interdisciplinary research within robotics. This promising field has attracted the attention of academicy, industry, several government agencies. Currently from security to personal service mobile robots are being used in a variety of tasks. The use of such robots is expected to only increase in the near future. In this study, it is aimed to design and manufacture a versatile robot base. This base is aimed to be the main driving unit for various applications performed both indoors and outdoors ranging from personal service and assistance to military applications. The study does not attempt to individually address any specific application, indeed it is aimed to shape up a robotic module that can be used in a wide range of application on different terrain with proper modification. The robot base is specifically designed for mixed terrain applications, yet this study attempts to provide some guidelines to help robot designers. The manufactured robot base is tested with tracks, wheels, and with both tracks and wheels, results are provided as guidelines to robot designers. Last but no the least, this study aims to obtain the know-how of building functional and flexible robots in Turkey by facilitating local resources as much as possible.

Analysis and control of a dissipative spring-mass hopper with torque actuation
Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Saranlı, Uluç (The MIT Press, Cambridge (MA), USA , 2011-01-01)
Robotics: Science and Systems VI spans a wide spectrum of robotics, bringing together researchers working on the foundations of robotics, robotics applications, and the analysis of robotics systems. This volume presents the proceedings of the sixth Robotics: Science and Systems conference, held in 2010 at the University of Zaragoza, Spain. The papers presented cover a wide range of topics in robotics, spanning mechanisms, kinematics, dynamics and control, human-robot interaction and human-centered systems, ...
Araştırma amaçlı modüler bı̇r hareketlı̇ robot platformu tasarımı
Bayar, Gökhan; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan (null; 2006-04-28)
Robotik üzerine yapılan çalışmalar arasında hareketli robotlar hızla gelişen bir araştırma alanını oluşturmaktadır. Hareketli robotların potansiyel uygulama alanları, eğitim kurumlarının, sanayinin, devlet kurumlarının ve güvenlik şirketlerinin ilgisini çekmeye başlamıştır. Günümüzde hareketli robotlar bir çok alanda değişik görevleri üstlenmişlerdir. Yakın gelecekte bu robotların daha da yoğun şekilde kullanılması beklenmektedir. Hareketli robotlarla yapılacak farklı araştırma konuları farklı robotlar gere...
Global Urban Localization of Outdoor Mobile Robots Using Satellite Images
DOĞRUER, CAN ULAŞ; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Dölen, Melik (2008-09-26)
Localization is one of the major research fields in mobile robotics. With the utilization of satellite images and Monte Carlo localization technique, the global localization of an outdoor mobile robot is studied in this paper. The proposed method employs satellite images downloaded from the Internet to localize the robot iteratively. To accomplish this, the proposed method matches the local laser scanner data with the segmented satellite images. Initial test results conducted on the METU campus are found to...
Development of a desktop robot for robotics education
Sekmen, A; Koku, Ahmet Buğra (2002-07-18)
The lack of easily constructible, programmable, and extendable robotics environments is a big obstacle that prevents educational robotics from growing faster. Most of the time, students need to deal with hardware interfacing and integration, low-level programming for hardware control, and software integration. This usually causes the loss of students' valuable time that they could spend on designing and implementing their own algorithms. This fact led us to seek ways of developing a hardware/software enviro...
Adapting smart phone applications about physics education to blind students
Bulbul, M. S.; Yigit, N.; Garip, Belkıs (2016-01-01)
Today, most of necessary equipment in a physics laboratory are available for smartphone users via applications. Physics teachers may measure from acceleration to sound volume with its internal sensors. These sensors collect data and smartphone applications make the raw data visible. Teachers who do not have well-equipped laboratories at their schools may have an opportunity to conduct experiments with the help of smart phones. In this study, we analyzed possible open source physics education applications in...
